In regards to the whole EK cooling thing. der8auer just popped out with a video saying he's done working with them. I saw a thing mentioned that Jay2cents talked about how he is one of the people waiting to get paid from them, and has also stopped working with them (something about how EK has 2 more ads that they have pre-paid for up till end of May, but sounded like maybe not if he doesn't get a check). One thing I saw mentioned, their consumer watercooling is a tiny part of their company, as their biggest portion is server level water cooling. I didn't know that. der8auer has had a special colab with EK, so he's gotta be feeling this one pretty hard. Did say there wasn't any money/royalty fee with EK due to them using Thermalgrizzly, and isn't going to demand them to remove his name/logo from existing products.

SlowBloke posted:I watched the EK video, I don't see much point in all that runtime. The other long form attack videos had a public service angle (this product will burn down your house), this one is just "this company has discussible business practices". It almost feel like they had a bad month on views and need something to fill up their quota. A company that can't pay its workers, suppliers, or debts is a company that also probably can't honor a warranty. Especially if they go out of business.

Let me clear all the kids slang up for you grandpa! Thermal grizzly is the slang for hot CPUs. You have to cool them with your EK (pronounced eck!). A der8auer pumps your eck to keep that thermal grizzly under control. jayz2cents is just some rear end in a top hat youtuber who reviews computer hardware and sometimes tweets racist stuff.

TBH if you check with a leak tester before filling and use soft tubes with good (not cheapest possible) fittings it is almost impossible to gently caress it up.

I think if anyone says Musk is an "expert" on multiple technical subjects and not just a figurehead money man I'm comfortable disregarding anything else they say.

In 2024 if you cant see that Musk has zero responsibility for any of the actual technology, design and engineering of the companies he runs, then I dont know what to say. You'd probably have to go back to the Paypal codebase circa 2008 to find an actual contribution from Musk

I am curious if the enthusiast PC building market has grown/shrunk over the past few years, or if it's just my interest in it that has waned. It feels like ultra high-end hardware with custom cooling used to actually make substantial differences in performance of games. Now it seems to be entirely aesthetic based.

It's hard to really judge, just because the media is always screaming about how PC is the most popular gaming platform these days but chances are less than 20% of that userbase have touched a single screw on their system even if you remove the people who are just playing Fortnite/League/Amogus on their laptop. The plateau is very real though, air coolers have gotten significantly better to the point where you can use one on basically any CPU so the main utility for liquid cooling has become either chasing absolute silent performance or trying to flex the look of your system (or just flexing over having a liquid cooler). I absolutely don't see a point in doing any kind of custom loop stuff unless you're including the GPU in the loop as well though, and that's getting into much more advanced business.

I find it really hard to believe that there are more people playing on PC - even casually - than consoles. I feel like there must be something going on like what you're describing, where someone who plays a browser based game on their lunch break is counted as a "PC gamer" or something.

How many young people do you know? Apparently playing games on PC is way more popular with the youth than consoles. Didn't see the thing myself but I heard that Phil Spencer was in some talk or interview at GDC and said something along those lines. The console market is not growing anymore, and so MS's exclusives strategy needed to change.

Yeah same, all the FIFA players and others who I know play videogames at work mostly play them on console. The people who are playing stuff on PC are just Fortnite/Apex types most of whom haven't upgraded in 5+ years. It feels the same as mobile gaming where the playerbase is less actively choosing to play games there and its more a case of needing to have the thing anyway (which would account for PC players skewing gradually younger as teenagers needing laptops for school becomes more necessary) and might as well play games on the thing. The console sales decline to me feels less like hard decisions being made by the playerbase over where they want to play and more a case of consoles not having had a mid-gen price drop which has typically been where you really see a console's sales really start to pick up speed.

Steam had over 130 million "average monthly players" in 2021, which i believe counted the number of users who actually launched a game in any given month. Steam hasn't given any updates to this number since then, but their other metrics have shown that Steam has been growing rapidly for the last few years. The vast majority of these are going to be casual games, competitive multiplayer games, and flavor-of-the-month indie games. Klyith posted:Market has definitely shrunk over the last two years, but that's because 2020-21 was a massive boom where market demand was through the roof. Steam's still been growing, according to Valve. This is from their 2022 year in review:  It's just been growing and growing, and I don't doubt this was true for 2023 too (though they didn't release any info for that year that I can find). Jon Peddie Research also says that dedicated graphics card shipments have been on the rise lately and are expected to continue to grow.
